Israel and Palestinian Talks

Proceeding contribution from Oliver Dowden (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 July 2017. It occurred during Debate on Israel and Palestinian Talks.

The shadow Foreign Secretary is very dismissive of her leader’s description of Hamas and Hezbollah as friends. I have to say to her that a great many of my constituents, many of whom are Jewish, are deeply worried and troubled by the prospect of someone who aspires to be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom describing those two Jew-hating terrorist organisations as his friends. I would welcome it if the shadow Foreign Secretary were to take the

opportunity to withdraw, on behalf of the Labour party, those comments that have caused so much upset and offence in the community.
